Anyone interested in learning more about Cisco routers, switches and voice technologies. Primary goal is to help people get certified (CCNA, CCNP, CCIE, etc) by forming study groups and giving tips.
Meetings will be spread between Los Angeles and Orange Counties to give everyone a chance of attending.
If you can't attend, we'll try to stream the meetings through DimDim (free Flash plugin). We'll also try recording the sessions so you can review.
When you join, please put down what certification you are studying for (if applicable) and your experience. Don't worry, we welcome people of all levels. Also please put down the city you live/work from because I'll try to schedule the meetings for places that are close.

Router simulator for Cisco studies. Think of it as VMWare for your router, PIX and ASA images. This isn't a simulator with toned down commands, this gives you everything. Unfortunately this doesn't emulate switches.
We don't have any upcoming events for this user group. Do you know this group? If so, why not submit a future event? We also support iCal, EventBrite and Meetup feeds.

Ahh EIGRP, some people love it, some people hate it, but whatever your feelings... it's a topic on Cisco tests. In this meetup, we'll cover the theory and configuration of this proprietary protocol.A note to the members, many of the questions asked in our meetups are answered simply by watching the videos in the YouTube channel. While I try my best to help you out during the meetings, you will get much value if you study and watch the YouTube videos before the meetings.

Route redistribution doesn't have to be hard and in this meetup we'll tackle a lab where we'll through rip into ospf, ospf into bgp and bgp into eigrp - and the other way around too! Learn the pitfalls of redistribution like routing loops, screwed up metrics and weird default behaviors.
